Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ian Forlong, Chris Leishman.

Year 10 Japanese is an extension to the introductory course taught in Year 9. It is a language acquisition course, where students learn to use simple language to greet and sustain interaction with others in Japanese. Students exchange personal information about themselves and their families, talk about their likes and dislikes, tell the time and say what they do in their leisure time. They are introduced to the Hiragana alphabet and simple Kanji.
